Hello Everyone! Gosh I have been neglecting thisblog lately, I guess it's bound to happen with theweather getting warmer. Plus I have been workinga few more days lately and just might have a fulltime job lined up, but time will tell with that one.I haven't had much time to do layouts either andwhen I do have time, nothing is coming to me. SoI took a few days off from making them. It's notlike I don't have tons of photos, just don't havethe oomph to do them. But I have been playing on andoff with a Easter kit and I finally finished it today.And with me working the rest of the week I figuredI would let you guys see it. I really love the way thebunnies came out... I know I still have a ways to gowith this digital designing thing, but I think theseare really cute...LOL So you wanna see it???? LOL

Of course it's in 2 parts, I just don't know how tomake a small kit! LOL Click on the links below. Andplease, tell me what ya think!

So there I wasbabysitting a freaking cat, yeah, I hear you, it couldbe a baby!!!!! YIKES! LOL But this is not what I had in mindto today.... I had stuff to get done on my computer, but nooooo,I am playing referee between 2 dogs and a cat! Then I have tosurprise hubby when he gets home... Oh this should go really well,I knew it wouldn't, but I already fell in love with thislittle creature, now I have to convince him too....I hear the car door slam, ohhh man, there's the pit in mystomach again....Upstairs he comes, looks in on me andsays.... What the hell is that???? He kept saying No wayyyy,take it back....this wasn't going the way I wanted it too,he gets up and goes outside, for like an hour.Heather calls, "how's Dad doing?" Not good Heather...did he hold her....NOPE, he doesn't want to.....I'm trying, but I don't think we are gonna keep her....Well after another hour or so, he comes back in, wellit's dinner time too and says... Why did you give IN!I say, just look at her!!! Well, to end this story weare keeping her....Heather doesn't know yet as she workstill 9 tonight...so I think she will be very happy whenshe gets home!

She is such a wonderful and funny friend.My heart just aches for her, losing someone is never good,but when it hits your family it just never seems real or fair.I wish I had the words to comfort her at these trying times.But they never seem to come out the way I want them too,so I will just say Jen, you and your family are in my thoughtsand prayers!!!

Now back to some good news.....I finished the CC for DSO....with 2 weeks to spare, I swear Ididn't think I would get in done this month. But it's done andready to go. I kinda like the way this one came out, perfectfor the spring that is almost at our doorstep...lolWanna see it???? Of course you do! LOL

Let's hope these next two weeks fly by!!! lol

Last week was a crazy week for me. I had to workall week which meant going to bed early and gettingup early and NO jammie days...LOL I tried scrappin'after dinner, but nothing was coming to me, I wasthinking I lost it! I would shut the computer downand pray that the next night would be different,but it wasn't. Saturday finally comes and I shouldget stuff done, but nope my mojo was lost. The weatherman says its gonna be a warm day, so off the computergoes again, I went out shopping for myself and my dogsof course...lol had a nice day getting some of that warmair into these lungs of mine. And when I came home andstarted to play I couldn't stop...the layouts just startedflowing again, YIPPIE I found my mojo!!!

So now where do I start...Well, I will start with the kit that inspired me.Beth RAKed me with her new kit called Natural Moods... Ithas everything in it I love, yeah I am a girly girl, I loveflowers and ribbon and it is my favorite color blue! I knewwhat photo I wanted to use and everything just came together.I really like how this one came out, so I emailed it to Bethand thanked her profusely for giving me back my mojo! LOLHere is her new kit:

Now I must go food shopping, UGH, I hate food shopping! Well, notso much the shopping itself, but the carry the bags into the car,then into the house, then up the stairs and putting it all away,then taking it out to cook....UGH.....LOL But someone has got todo it! Might as well be ME!!! But first I need a list of what Iam making, decisions, decisions!!! I am thinking simple this week,maybe cereal, those boxes aren't heavy! LMAO....
